Chapter 255 The Cowardly Child City Lord

When the three of them fell into deep thought, Du En had quietly left the garden.

"Is it related to the city lord?"

The matter of Chiwu is still before our eyes.

That time was a similar situation. The problem was passed from the bottom to the top, and the root was located in Cui Wei, the local city lord.

In fact, it is also logical, because the lord of the city in that place controls the affairs of the city inside and outside. If you want to do something, it is difficult to avoid his eyes and ears.

In other words, if there is something, it is most likely that the city lord is leading the way!

Therefore, Du En decided to go straight to Huanglong this time and go directly to the city lord's mansion to find out!

With the authority of the traveler, he can enter the city lord's mansion of the small city.

Although that's all, the confidential places of the city lord's mansion cannot be set foot casually, but it is enough to squat here and guard the local city lord.

However, when he lurked in the city lord's mansion, Du En found that he might have thought wrong.

Because in the City Lord's Mansion of Lin'an City, everything seemed normal, and there was no such thing as a beautiful woman in a golden house, or gathering many female cultivators.

Either those female cultivators had been killed, or they did not exist here.

From the details of all aspects, it was more inclined to the latter.

"Since I'm here, even if I really made a mistake, I can ask about the situation and see if the local city lord knows anything."

With this idea in mind, Du En did not choose to leave, and soon waited for the local city lord.

Moreover, the situation he waited for made the situation a little bit wrong.

Tong Wenrong, with a simple face and a big belly, was walking in a remote corner of the City Lord's Mansion at this moment.

He was the City Lord of Lin'an City. Although the Golden Core had been perfected, his strength was quite average, that is, a strong third-rate figure.

Facing the crescent moon and starlight, humming a tune happily, suddenly, someone held a magic weapon against his waist. From the sharpness of the weapon, his legs trembled and he couldn't stop the cold all over his body. It must be the third-level top-grade weapon!

It's bitter!

Tong Wenrong's expression changed, and his voice trembled: "Brave man! This brave man! Let's talk it out, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"

Facing this situation, Du En remained calm and imitated the tone of Zhen Chenshi, saying: "I'm from the Supervisory Guard, Tong Wenrong, the Lord of Tong City, you've been caught!"

The name was heard on the way here, and the Supervisory Guard was naturally fictitious. After all, this is a border town and it is not normally monitored.

But.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a plop!

Tong Wenrong collapsed to the ground, howling and shouting: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I should never have done that!"

Hmm?

Is there really a ghost?

Du En originally thought that this city lord was acting in a sneaky way, and maybe there was something strange in it, so he wanted to trick him a little, but he didn't expect that he would be tricked directly?

Or was this guy retreating to advance, pretending to be weak?

After all, there were many loopholes in his performance, all of which were intentional.

So, he thought about it and said coldly: "Lead the way."

This word actually seemed vague, making people unsure of what he meant.

Lead the way, what way?

If Tong Wenrong was really pretending, and really had something to hide, he would show various corresponding situations in the face of such words.

Especially if it involves the matter of female cultivators outside the city, and there are no beautiful women in the city lord's mansion, it can only mean that he is really practicing some evil method, like Cui Wei, he should rebound from the bottom and start fighting like a trapped beast!

Du En was ready to self-destruct the magic weapon.

However, Tong Wenrong gave the most normal answer in theory, but the most abnormal answer in reality.

"Okay, okay, I'll lead the way, sir, I'll lead the way."

Du En looked more and more puzzled, silently using the magic weapon to force him to follow the path this guy led. The more he looked, the more he felt that it seemed that he had hit the mark by accident.

Then, Tong Wenrong took him back the same way. He didn't dare to look directly at him on the way, and just honestly came to a corner of the City Lord's Mansion.

There was a small house here, with various isolation measures that were strict, and Du En's spiritual sense could not detect it.

However, he was not too vigilant at this time, and just felt that he had hit the mark by accident.

Because Tong Wenrong actually used the protective measures of the City Lord's Mansion openly, it was impossible for this to hide any treasonous evil.

If that were the case, the Hub City would regularly patrol the sub-nodes of the City Lord's Mansion to determine whether it was normal behavior, and then this guy could be caught. How could the abnormality here last so long?

While thinking rapidly, Tong Wenrong had already unsealed and opened the door.

Suddenly, a light came into Du En's eyes!

It was a room full of inferior spiritual stones, piled up and dazzling, and it was estimated that there were tens of millions of them!

"You..."

"They are all here, sir! They gave them to me, I took them, and finally put them here!"

Tong Wenrong lay on the ground, howling non-stop: "I'm just afraid of poverty, I can't help it, but, but, I really don't have the courage, so they are all here, I didn't dare to spend a penny!"

Du En: "..."

Even as calm as he was, his emotions at this moment couldn't help but show a little subtlety.

But after all, it was him, and he returned to normal in a blink of an eye, grasping the key point: "Why are there only inferior ones?"

"I dare not covet the top-grade ones, and I am afraid that there are still too many middle-grade ones, which will attract attention. So, in the end, I only dare to put the lower-grade ones here. I feel satisfied when I look at and touch them from time to time."

Tong Wenrong said from the bottom of his heart, without any demeanor of a city lord. He almost hugged Du En's thigh and was extremely anxious: "Really, Supervisor, I didn't spend a penny, and I have kept a record! You can confiscate it and testify. I will be a dirty witness for you. Don't kill me, don't send me to the battlefield!"

Seeing him like this, Du En couldn't help asking: "Why are you, the city lord, so weak?"

Ten million-level low-grade spirit stones are equal to one hundred thousand-level middle-grade spirit stones, which are equal to one thousand-level high-grade spirit stones.

In other words, his room of spirit stones is actually not much at all. According to the regulations, at most it will be confiscated and fined twice, which is not a big deal.

After all, the value of the spiritual stones of the various things that pass through a city every day is far more than these. Even the city lord only took so much privately, which is already very little!

Moreover, if he only embezzled a thousand in a hundred years, then it would only be ten per year!

Ten high-quality spiritual stones, what are you afraid of?

As for collapsing to the ground?

"Ah?"

Tong Wenrong was surprised and gave his own answer: "It's all like this, mainly for Xiu Lin to see, so the three generations of city lords are all people like me!"
